Now, Akshay Kumar in an interview with Hindustan Times talked about his experience of interviewing the star politician. The Khiladi Kumar was asked about whose idea was it to have this interaction and said, “I have had the good fortune of knowing our Prime Minister from the days when he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat. I’ve been meeting him on and off since then. I had seen a side of him — all those years back — when he was much more relaxed, he would laugh, crack jokes.”

He further added, “During a recent conversation I had with his office, we discussed the possibility of bringing that side of him out in the middle of all the election stress. My only condition was that I will not discuss anything political, because frankly, that’s not a subject I’m very up-to-date on. I’m really glad it mutually worked out, without there being any reference to politics.”

Akshay Kumar also said that the format was kept non-political because he is not a seasoned journalist. And he wanted people to know about PM Modi’s humane side.

PM Modi also brought up Akshay’s wife Twinkle Khanna during the interaction and particularly her tweets. To which, Akshay replied, “I did not know where to look. I was stumped by his wit, and the very sporting manner in which he said it. I didn’t know what to reply. I could only laugh embarrassingly and I thought to myself – ‘ek taraf biwi, ek taraf desh ka Pradhan Mantri. Both have powerful portfolios in my life. It’s best to stay quiet.”
